For not much more money you get a much more sensitive reciever (important with tree cover or around elevation), color screen, more map memory and you don't have to keep a relic laptop with a serial cable, (or mess around with a serial adapter) you get the high speed USB cable.

yeah, too many bells and whistles... all i need is somethin to tell me where the cache is, and to tell me where i am...

Unless you're like jake and own a magellan, he prefers the unit that guesses where the cache is and thinks it knows where you are...

But if you want a really reliable cheap gps unit that you can download waypoints to, the Garmin72 is awesome. I carried one for years practically through hell and back and it never skipped a beat... It was only about $100 when I bought it, and it paid for itself on numerous ocassions. I have a 76 now, and still miss the 72...

I'm still beating myself up for not getting a picture of you using my Magellan! By the way, did you guys find your Garmin?

No, we haven't!
So, we have to decide: Does Hiram buy a Colorado, or do I buy a 72 for Hiram? mmmm the posibilities

Either that or for his next GPSr we get him a pair of those clip on mitten keepers that we had in Kindergarten . . . you remember the ones with the clips on a string . . . one end you would clip on to your mittens and the other end would clip on to your coat. In this case we could clip one end to his GPSr and the other end to Steph . . . then maybe he wouldn't lose . . . I mean misplace his GPSr.
